Nigeria Powers Ahead: Federal Government Hands Over 6MW Ikere Gorge Hydropower Project to Quaint Energy

Iseyin, Oyo State, Nigeria – January 31, 2026 – The Federal Ministry of Power has officially handed over the 6-Megawatt Ikere Gorge Hydropower Project in Oyo State to Quaint Energy Limited, signaling a new era of sustainable electricity generation and private sector-led growth in Nigeria.

Prof. Joseph Terlumun Utsev, FNSE; His Imperial Majesty, Oba Sefiu Olawale Oyebola Adeyeri III, Aseyin of Iseyinland; senior officials from the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) and the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority (OORBDA); and representatives of Quaint Energy Limited.

Originally developed for water supply and irrigation, the Ikere Gorge Dam has now been repositioned to generate clean, renewable electricity.
